Jim Cramer Calls IMAX 'Real' as Bookings Extend into 2029
Jim Cramer says IMAX Corporation’s theaters are always packed and calls its technology 'real'. Orbis Investment Management reports IMAX has theater bookings sold through 2029, noting a $2 billion market cap and global demand for its premium screens.
1. Cramer’s Endorsement
IMAX Corporation’s theaters are consistently sold out, says Jim Cramer, who described its premium screens and production technology as 'real'. He credited CEO Richard Gelfond for positioning IMAX as a must-visit experience that draws audiences back to cinemas.
2. Long-Term Bookings
Orbis Investment Management reports that IMAX has theater system bookings locked in through 2029, with filmmakers struggling to secure slots on its scarce high-end screens. This extended slate highlights the sustained demand for IMAX’s proprietary remastering and distribution capabilities.
3. Valuation and Global Demand
IMAX’s $2 billion market cap reflects its global brand strength and the premium pricing of its limited theater supply. Growing interest in local-language and blockbuster content, exemplified by Ne Zha 2’s $2.1 billion box office, underscores the halo effect IMAX screens deliver to major releases.
